No it isn't.
We have missed a couple and been stiff but our crowd scream out every time someone is touched.

Would you expect anything less, perhaps we should just raise our eyebrows instead. as an american once said to me as we past the Dodgers stadium, its a great opportunity to be loud an obnoxious for a few hours
 
I do accept that and I was blaming the descion on 3 quater time for our loss but we played so badly that I think its a bit flogging to blame umpiring for the loss.

Both teams played 3 bad quarters and one good quarter. So the "we played bad and didn't deserve to win" argument does not really stand in my opinion. Their third quarter had a 15 minute burst of bad calls in their favor. Our last quarter had us fight back without umpiring intervention. Sure, we should have not lost the game with 21 seconds to go, but how did Freo get to be 5 goals up ? Maybe they should have been 2 goals up at the most.
 
Why does Hardwick or the club not make a stand.
What would we have to lose if we are getting as reamed as badly as you keep protesting?
Ever thought Hardwick may have agreed with the Jack decision.
If it was that diabolical, why does Hardwick continue to crack one-liners and crack jokes, instead of doing what the Scott brothers do, what Beveridge has done and what Buckley and Lyon have done and question the umpires.
If there is something amiss than there is less leadership in the coaching box than we saw in the last 20 seconds on-field on Sunday and for the majority of the contest.
Some commentators did ... and not because the AFL slipped them $1000 to stay quiet.
UMPIRES DO NOT RORT THE SYSTEM, THEY DO THEIR BEST AND CAN BE WRONG AT TIMES. IT'S NOT A CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE TIGERS!
Give me proof umpires are on the take, or specifically are advised to screw Richmond?
Because our club has no cojones mate we were neutered after GR passed away, can you imagine the shit that goes down was done back then

He actually did whinge, in the post match, in a subtle way. Said that those incidents happen 50 times a week or words to that effect:...and don't get paid.
 
As far as I know there hasn't been a peep from the AFL about the Riewoldt shepherd. Normally during the week they come out and highlight any controversial calls and either justify it or admit the call was wrong and any steps taken to improve performance, interpretation of the rule etc. Why the f**k have we not had at least a explanation of the call? It was a bewildering decision. I'm annoyed at the club as well for not making any noise about it.
Because it strikes at the very integrity of the games ajudicators, the RFC are the afls golden egg, thru a well orchestrated campaign , they have been reminded as such and they don't wanna poke the bear coz as quick as they're cashing in on it , they can lose it .

I expect an immediate correction the likes that the WB generally get to ensure the afl s golden egg delivers big time to their 2017 coffers and they don't end up with egg on the moosh instead ,,,,stand by

The proof is the double standards that are applied ea week, need to be any clearer , why as t the freo BP pinned for deliberate like short was , why were overhead handballs permitted when Jack was pinned previously with umpire explaining , can't handball like that .
It's a standard for one team and one for the others , they're a bunch of campaigners that are either incompetent or motivated to rort the result , the fact they are paid to mAke these decisions is reprehensible

And I don't usually complain about the umps

No you don't, which is a credit to you (unlike others who do it 24/7).
I am on record as saying there were decisions that we should have got or not been paid against us, a-la the Riewoldt shepherd, but was every Fremantle call or non-call correct?
Brady Grey booted a clear goal that was ruled a behind and not even reviewed. I imagine Freo would be pretty p****d about that.
I can accept a few bad decisions, but not calls for a conspiracy to do Richmond out of a win.

My blood boils when I hear this crap we didnt deserve to win, freo had scored 1p in the final Q until the siren sounded , had they in fact lost , try building a case they were stiff after scoring a solitary point ,,,,,spare me ,,,,they were ****en lucky

Is there any clip of that , I have t seen it
 
Good enough for me.
You want him to rip into the umpires publicly?

That would be fruitless and counter-productive IMO and I wouldn't recommend it.
Was not my suggestion in the first place, but others were critical of the club for not kicking up a fuss and ripping into the umpireds and AFL.
I will say this, either last year or the year before Buckley went public re the umpires treatment of Travis Cloke and low behold we layed them next and he had a free kick in the first three minutes.
It worked in that instant.
While I am not a fan of Hardwick the coach - I am of Hardwick the man. The reason he probably didn't get stuck into he umps is that he's not your average boofhead, moron supporter who cries foul over the umpires all week and goes twice as hard on game days.
Sadly there are plenty on here in this regard and it's a poor look.
We did not lose because of umpiring on Sunday and I dare say you agree with that!

Lyon made mention of it. It was a clear goal.

Lyon, too, was troubled by a goal line decision when a Brady Grey snap in the second quarter was ruled a point and not reviewed.

"The one I don't understand is Brady Grey thought he's kicked a goal out of the goalsquare. He was putting his hands up and there was no review," Lyon said.

"I'm no expert but I would have thought there would have been a review." He was reminded of the Tom Hawkins goal in the 2009 grand final that brushed the post but was deemed a goal

Wholeheartedly agree.

Spot on. They didn't fire a shot from siren to siren in the last. A 30 point capitulation and people were bagging our 3rd quarter. At least we kicked a goal in that term.
 
HELLOOO!!! They kicked the last goal!
We had the chance to win it. A few set shots went behind in the last quarter which we should have nailed. I was just as pissed with the umpiring as any one eyed Tiger supporter. The noise from the 32K supporters when we hit the front was awesome. To lose like that is crushing. Should never have been in that position anyway. Play like we did in the last quarter for at least another quarter or 2 and we win.

My view is we didn't want it.

But easier for some to blame umpires for the loss rather than those easy misses!
 
we have been reamed by the umps all year and its annoying especially the last 2 weeks when we should of won both games. just want the umps to be fair that bullshit call against jack happens 100 times a week yet we are the only ones penalised
 
LMAO ... Sam Newman pointing out that the free kick paid to Rance late in the game as the Dockers were going forward was absolutely wrong. Well spoken. It works both ways.
What a **** wit he was , there was high contact , of course it's a free , why didn't he comment on the shepherd that overruled the goal ,,,
